Summary

The Glucose Goddess believes the key to balancing health with enjoying sugary treats is understanding how our physiology interacts with different foods, not extreme restriction, since deprivation inevitably fails. She advises maximizing pleasure while minimizing blood sugar crashes and inflammation by only having sweets after a full meal, never on an empty stomach, as spiking glucose then crashing causes addictive cravings. Knowing how to indulge smartly, like saving sweet breakfast pastries to enjoy later as dessert, provides sanity in our food environment without forcing people to fully cut out their favorite comforts. Ultimately, rediscovering simple, ancestral wisdom about how our bodies work allows for moderation and self-care rather than all-or-nothing, unhealthy relationships with food.

0:40.0	There's something that I've been fascinated about with your work and your message
0:47.8	around something that's related to me which is sugar. I've never been drunk, I've never been high, I never tried mushrooms, I've
0:55.5	never done any type of psychedelic, it's just been something I've never done.
1:00.0	In sports, a lot of my teammates were drinking all the time. They're doing drugs, marijuana, and I saw
1:06.0	it and made them slow-minded. And it gave me an advantage on the athletic field. So I was just
1:11.8	like, oh, this is hurting them the next day when they
1:14.5	drink. They're not as fast, they're not as sharp, they show up sloppy, they're not on time.
1:19.0	Therefore, the coach is not going to put them in the game. How can I have the edge of the advantage? And it just stuck with me. I was like why start in my 20s after sports was done when there was so much benefit to not ingesting those things that are poisonous in your body.
1:35.6	It's very evolved with you.
1:37.1	The thing that is not evolved of me is all the sugar that I have consumed most of my life.
1:41.9	I feel the same, you you know I don't drink
